I finished the game over the holidays and got the platinum. Overall it was really great. Will probably end up around #4 or 5 on my GOTY list.
+ Platforming is actually pretty great IMO. There were a few too many sliding sections and few jumps off of slides that were unfair, but otherwise it felt very good and the wallrunning, climbing, jumping were well done and felt solid, and you upgrade your platforming abilities.
+ Combat, overall its very good and satisfying. Its not Sekiro and parrying multiple hits is a weakness, but using force powers and a range of skills was great. And I thought the enemies were great, including the non-humanoid ones. Bosses were mostly good.
+ Story, I thought it was really good and I liked the endings, length of the game is just about perfect and the ending seemed satisfying. Characters were all well done, including the main character and BB-1 is fantastic.
+ Worlds/atmosphere, they nailed the star wars aesthetic, a city would have been cool, but overall the worlds were great, particularly Zeffo and Dathomir.
- Buggy, it probably had the most glitches, pop-in, and bugs in any game I played this year. I didn't have a problem with framerate, but the game could have used 3-6 months of extra polish. And just little things like NPCs repeating the same thing, etc. could have been made more impressive with 3-6 more months. It doesn't distract too much from the core game, but its noticable.
- Inconsistent graphically, game could look stunning at times and bland at others and the pop-in didn't help. Also, Cal's character model looked great and Cere looked last gen; its weird.
- Lack of fast travel, the worlds - particularly Zeffo - are a sprawling maze. The map is helpful for telling you where to go in the main story as you open it up, but hunting down the secrets for a platinum was difficult, and made re-exploring areas a real chore. I think perhaps this could have been a force ability or something that maybe you could open up later to let you fast travel between meditation points. That way you couldn't go too fast during most of the game and your first time through worlds, but later it would make clean up so much better.
Overall I'd give it an 8.5/10 with a lean towards a 9. I was an early believer of this game and hyped it after the preview event and it didn't disappoint.
